Trish's POV
I'm positive that the stress of everything I have to do before graduation is finally getting to me. I mean meeting the Autobots two months ago was crazy. But what is happening now definitely puts this Monday on the top of my list of the weirdest days of my life.
"Trish, we have to defend ourselves," Bobby says.
"I know, but how? I've been taking ballet classes since I was four, not karate,"
"Yeah, I'm not much better off. I only know how to play the clarinet," Bobby says.
"If that monster is after these crystals, they must have something to do with the fate of the planet or something along that line,"
"You may be right, so we can't let that freak get these crystals. We have to protect them," Bobby says.
"I'm right there with you,"
The next thing I know I feel a small wave of energy flow through my body. I look down at the crystal, then it starts to glow, and there is a flash of light. A vision of a dinosaur appears in front of my eyes. After the light fades, a fossilized gun that looks like one the Nerf guns my cousin Zach and I used to play with whenever he can to visit. I turn to look at Bobby, and he has one too.
"What are these things?" Bobby asks.
"If you have one too that means you had a strange vision of a dinosaur too,"
"Yeah, and it looks like the crystal fits into the slot at the bottom," Bobby says.
We nervously slide the stones into the slots. The casing around them shatters. and they look all shiny like a toy when you unbox it. We run out from our hiding spot. Bobby spins the barrel, and a blast of orange energy flies out of the weapon and takes out one of the strange men.
"What do you think would happen if both of us spin the barrel a bunch of times?"
"Let's find out," Bobby answers.
We keep spinning the barrels of the weapons and more tiny electric spark fly off. We aim them at the things walking up to us and pull the trigger, Two dinosaur heads fly out of the guns. They made a loop de loop then come towards us. Bobby and I duck to dodge them. I close my eyes and hear a chomping sound. When I open them, I see Bobby standing in front of me in an orange superhero suit with a dinosaur tooth pattern across the chest. He also has one shoulder pad on his right shoulder. There is also a picture of an Ornithomimus just below the bottom corner of the pad, and his helmet has an Ornithomimus' face silhouette on the face mask.
"Wow, you look amazing,"
"Thank you, you look cool too," Bobby says.
We turn to face those freaks again. As we run in towards them, it is like I suddenly know how to fight. We quickly take out the one closest to us, but they just keep coming. The ground starts to shake and I can't seem to maintain my balance. Then I hear pounding footsteps behind us. A few seconds later we are knocked to the ground as a giant Ornithomimus runs up to us. We jump out of the way to avoid being stepped on. I try to do an aerial, but my right-hand gets caught under a branch. I do flip into the air, but the suit disappears as I land on the ground - flat on my back. As I try to push myself up, my wrist starts to burn when I put any pressure on it.
"Trish, are you okay?" Bobby asks.
"Not really, my wrist feels like it's on fire," I reply.
Bobby helps me up in time to see the Ornithomimus bite one of those freaks and toss it into the air before walking away.
"So, did we just get rescued by a giant Ornithomimus?" Bobby asks.
"Yup, this has been one strange day in Jasper."
"You can say that again," Bobby says.
Normal POV
Bulkhead just pulled up to the school. Miko and Ashley get in. After they buckle up he pulls out of the parking to head to the base.
"So, how many more days till you and Ashley graduate?" Bulkhead asks.
"We have a week till prom. Our last day is a week after that. Then the graduation ceremony is a week after that," Ashley says.
"So, do you know if you got into that school you applied to?" Bulkhead asks.
"Not yet, Tracy just got her email today. We promised that we'd open them together, since we applied at the same time," Ashley says.
"We might have to make a side trip," Bulkhead says.
"Why?" Ashley asks.
"My scanner just picked up a massive energy spike it could be energon," Bulkhead answers.
He turns off the road and follows the signal. The wrecker stops and lets the girls out. Mike and Ashley go over to a rock. Inside the rock is a fossil of a long tailbone, with a flap at the end, shaped like a diamond.
"Wow, since when are the fossils outside of Jasper?" Miko asks.
"I'm not sure. Here is another question, why is the yellow crystal doing at the tip?" Ashley asks.
Miko doesn't say another word as she reaches out to grab it. Ashley stops her as Ashley's fingertips are a few inches away from it. The girls let out a gasp of amazement as it starts to glow.
"Why is it doing that?" Miko asks.
"No clue," Ashley says.
The crystal starts to fall as Bulkhead walks up. Ashley catches it and Bulkhead grabs Miko when he sees yellow waves of energy begins to flow through Ashley's body.
"Ashley, are you okay?" Bulkhead asks as the energy begins to fade away.
"Yes, I'm fine," Ashley says.
The rock starts to glow again, then Ashley sees a vision of a Dimorphodon flying through the sky. When it fades, Ashely sees Miko's eyes light up as a fossilized gun appears in Ashley's hand.
"Why did that thing just appear in your hand?" Bulkhead asks.
"I'm not sure," Ashley answers.
"Let's head to the base to figure out why that crystal was here," Bulkhead says.
"You won't be going anywhere till you give me that energem," an evil voice demands.
The trio turns around and sees the same monster that attacked Trish and Bobby.
"Okay, whatever. It's not a con," Miko says.
Bulkhead turns one of his hands into a blaster then points it at the monster.
"Don't come any closer to the humans, whoever you are," Bulkhead says.
"How rude, I should have told those humans I attacked at the library before my name. It's Fury," Fury says.
"Fury, I swear to the Allspark if you hurt them, Your boss will be looking for a new lackey," Bulkhead threatens.
"Relax, robot, the humans got away," Fury says.
Miko charges in towards Fury. Ashley doesn't hesitate and puts the yellow crystal into the slot on the weapon in her hand. After the cover shatters, she spins the barrel and several blasts of energy shoot out from it. They knock Fury back.
"Ratchet, I'm under attack. I need a bridge now," Bulkhead says into his com.
Bulkhead shouts to the girls to go into the portal as soon as it opens behind him, He waits till they run into it before following behind them. When Fury manages to stand up, he lets out a loud outburst of anger and frustration as he watches the portal close.
